Spot on Foinavon x 2.
Nobody mentioned Painting by Numbers. A horrendous supplement to the arts and crafts. |

I like the box of squash A-P.
The only thing of mine I have in my forum gallery at the moment is this cat sketch that I've posted before. It was done with 3 coloured pencils.  |

Was that from a photo, or just an obliging cat, and what size
|
|
By:
It's in a A5 sketch book, real cat.

The pic to the left of my name is one of mine from a photograph, watercolour and gouache on A3 paper.

Good to see that there are some on here who have wholesome interests, outside the core business.

Thanks AP and capt if that was addressed to me. I'll upload a couple of the Langley copies.

I saw the painting of Whistlejacket when it was on display at the racing museum in Newmarket
 We have some very talented chit-chatters! I think I have seen your paintings before Aunty, I particularly like the flowers. Your cat drawing is lovely, Foinavon. |

This was done on the computer using Daz 3D and paint.net.
It's called The Walk of Shame: . http://mungodryden.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/WalkOfShame2-117x300.png |

I went through a phase of drawing a few years back. I used pastels, they were very expensive. I was quite good but could only used to copy.
I remember doing pictures of Emma Thompson, Freddie Mercury and that lovely old guy from The Antiques Road Show. I also did various horse drawings and one of my friend's three Shelties. All my work was accidentally sent to the tip in an old suitcase we were throwing out. I lost heart after that  |

But could only used to copy?

By:
Very nice Foinavon and AP. Did you copy that mac? If so excellent.
The only thing I could ever draw was money from the bank. |

That's very good Gallivanter. What's Daz 3D?
Shame about your drawings MD. Pastels have a freshness about them that is quite special. I also went through a pastel phase for a couple of years but returned to watercolour and gouache which are my favourite media types. |

I went through a pastel phase for a while but returned to wine gums.

Nah, fruit pastels are better Roger. More tasty but don't last as long.

At risk of taking this thread totally off-topic (and it's a cracking thread, you art folk need to post up more of your stuff) I think Opal Fruits are the daddy.
|

Velasquez is the Daddy as he sells his stuff. Have tried in the past to get him to post up a few pics without success. Come on Vel you can run but you can't hide.

About your friend saying it's not art.
All the past masters copied to learn their craft. Roy Lichtenstein did copies from selected comics. his art sells for tens of millions. Andy warhol copied campbell soup tins. used photos of marilyn Monroe/liz taylor. abstracts and live portraiture are probably the only original forms in painting. very restrictive. |
|
By:
Interestingly, Velasquez has no photos at all in his gallery

I think it was Marcel Duchamp of "Fountain" fame (urinal) who said something along the lines of It's art if I say so. You would probably know Zorro having studied History of Art.
All artists use past works for reference but copyright law exists if one wants to sell copies of the work of others. Here are photos of my copies of a couple of paintings by Walter Langley. I did these in watercolour on A3 paper. They are smaller than Langley's originals and I'm nowhere near as good as he was but they make nice room decorations. I've also photographed the A5 page of the cat for AP so he can see the size of the drawing.    |

here's a few of my older ones - around 2005, the ink drawing of Gregory Peck was part of a project for my web design try out. did twenty celebs.

I'd hang them on my walls Foinavon.
Especially the basket lady, that's stunning. |

By:
They're stunning aren't they Aka?
Love Zorro's picture of Gregory Peck. Some outstanding work on this thread. Not feeling so bad now about my efforts ended up at the tip |

Thanks Aka and MD.
The original of the basket lady is "Wandering Thoughts". They are Cornish fish wives and I suspect that it depicts the worry of having their men at sea. Walter Langley based himself at Newlyn and painted local scenes and the inhabitants a century or more ago. The other one is called "Girl Knitting" should you want to look up the originals. The ink drawing is excellent Zorro, you could have become an illustrator. The hands in particular have been well observed. |
